Glamorous in glitter and neon with an underlying darkness, Give Me
Pity! screens the unravelling of an all-singing all-dancing hostess,
Sissy St. Claire (Sophie von Haselberg) whose debut screen performance
is anything from tame. Laughter and music curdles into a bad trip in
this much awaited TV special. Screen Daily’s Wendy Ide, at its
Rotterdam film festival screening, wrote, “Part exercise in kitsch
1980s analogue nostalgia, part examination of ego-driven diva culture,
part psychological horror, Give Me Pity! is a singular vision which
could resonate with audiences with a taste for lurid cinematic
mischief-making.”
